How to Save Tweets in a List

Using Twitter is a quick way to read news, connect with others, and keep up with world events in real-time without the delay of news reporting or television. Various applications and software programs are available to download for free to use with Twitter. These programs range from "tweeting" directly from your own desktop to saving tweets to lists for reading at a later time (or for saving a favorite post or link).
